Since the development of the Southern Sui Dynasty, the number of troops has reached more than 200,000, but the battles such as the crusade against Li Zitong and the capture of Biling County were all completed by the Xingyang Army who first followed Li Xuanba and the Xiaoguo Army led by Yuwen Chengdu and Chen Ling, which not only represented the strength of the Xingyang Army and the Xiaoguo Army, but also reflected the difficulty of other armies of the imperial court at that time. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The mountain and forest army cultivated by Li Xuanba was almost wiped out in the first battle of Guanxian, and the future wars of the imperial court could not always rely on the Xingyang Army and the Xiaoguo Army to fight, and Zhang Xutuo, Li Jing and others have been training for a year, and Li Xuanba and Yang Tong have been too open to power, which is not a good thing after all.

In particular, when the news of Li Mian's private recruitment reached Jiangdu, the eldest grandson Wuji united with Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng and Jia Yanfu to offer a strategy together, not only did they hide from Shen Faxing, but even the civil and military officials of the Southern Sui Imperial Court did not realize that Li Xuanba's real purpose was not to make Shen Faxing surrender.

"When Mr. Fang went to Wu County, if Shen Faxing agreed to surrender at that time, Xuan Ba would have the right to do so." Fang Xuanling's faces returned to calm, and Li Xuanba sighed: "It's a pity that the family of Wu County always mistakenly thought that the imperial court needed to rely on them, and as a result, it angered Your Majesty, so that even if they surrendered, they would suffer heavy losses." ”

"The conditions of the imperial court are so harsh, how can Shen Faxing agree to surrender?" Seeing Li Xuanba's appearance that he didn't care about himself, Jia Yanfu showed a speechless expression, rolled his eyes, and said: "After so long, the envoy he sent to Datang should also go back, I don't know if someone on Datang's side has given Shen Faxing confidence." ”

Fang Xuanling and Wei Zheng laughed, because they could guess that Shen Faxing was willing to lead the county to surrender to the Tang Dynasty, but he thought that the emperor was far away, and the court of Chang'an City could not control Jiangnan, and the Tang Dynasty would naturally promise many benefits when he learned that Shen Faxing was willing to surrender.

This in itself is not ridiculous, what is ridiculous is that Li Xuanba is so disturbed in Jiangling City, Datang should set his eyes on Luoyang, and has no time to care about Shen Faxing's life and death, and moreover, when Datang decided to attack Luoyang, Shen Faxing's envoy is very likely to have rushed back to Wu County with joy to ask for a reward.

The bureau of the eldest grandson Wuji is very wide-ranging, and it can even affect the situation in the world, and this bureau is interlocking, as long as there is a problem in one link, it will affect the final result.

First, Fang Xuanling went to Wu County to persuade him to surrender in order to block the mouths of the Chinese military officials, and then Li Xuanba left Jiangdu to persuade Li Jiancheng to retreat in Jiangling, and shifted the attention of the Great Tang to Northern Sui to relieve Xu Shiji's pressure.

Only Dou Jiande and Xu Shiji were safe and sound, and Zhang Xutuo and Li Jing, who were guarding the north, could lead their army south to attack Shen Faxing, who was unwilling to surrender to the imperial court.

I don't know if it was to threaten the imperial court or for other reasons, the news that Shen Faxing contacted Datang and Lin Shihong was easily known by the imperial court, and Li Xuanba just used this as an excuse to persuade Yang Tong to exempt Yang Tong from the many conditions promised by the imperial court, and sent the letter of surrender and war back to Wu County through Shen Faxing's envoys!

Even Jia Yanfu felt that the imperial court was too harsh, let alone Shen Faxing himself?

If Shen Faxing loses his vigor and accepts the letter of surrender from the imperial court, then those clans in Wu County will be like ordinary businessmen, with no wealth but no rights, and they will inevitably be in fear, which is something they don't want to see and can't accept!

If Shen Faxing is unwilling to surrender, it happens to fall into the hands of the eldest grandson Wuji and Li Xuanba, and the imperial court can take the opportunity to crusade against Shen Faxing, and the progress of the war is completely in the hands of the Southern Sui court.

Of course, the purpose of this bureau is not only that.

Although the Great Sui is divided into the north and the south, but the emperors of the two courts are the heirs of Yang Guang after all, once the Northern Sui and the Tang Dynasty go to war, the Southern Sui is indifferent, how will the people of the world view the Southern Sui court? Therefore, Li Xuanba used the name of crusading against Shen Faxing to avoid the dispute between the Tang Dynasty and the Northern Sui!

"The city of Luoyang is strong, even if it is a strong Tang Dynasty, it is impossible to capture it in a short time." After laughing, Fang Xuanling said: "The Tang Dynasty and the Northern Sui Dynasty contain each other, and the imperial court can rest assured that it will send troops to Wu County, but the imperial court must wait for the dust of the war in the north to settle before it can complete the crusade, which is really embarrassing." ”

"If there are no difficulties, why would Childe and Wuji bother to set up such a situation?" Wei Zheng answered.

"It's all the strategy of Brother Wuji and you, and Xuanba doesn't have much strength." Li Xuanba smiled and said: "Taking the opportunity of the crusade, you can not only train troops for the imperial court, but also assess the general defense of various counties, such a method, Xuanba has never thought of before." ”

The crusade against Shen Faxing is destined to take a long time, and it may even drag on for a year and a half, and the weight of grain and grass consumed by more than 100,000 troops is incalculable, so it is impossible for Li Xuanba to let the civil and military officials know about the military training, otherwise it will inevitably cause a wave of opposition, and the people will also complain.

Hearing Li Xuanba's words, Fang Xuanling and the others were speechless for a while, because during the layout, Li Xuanba came up with many ideas, and he played the most important role in this game.

"Ahem." Jia Yanfu coughed dryly, and arched his hand: "Now everything is ready, only Shen Faxing refuses to surrender, son, dare to ask you what else do you need to explain?" ”

"The three brothers should be able to guess that it is difficult for Shen Faxing to accept the conditions of the imperial court, so he has already begun to prepare grain and grass for the army." When it comes to business, Li Xuanba no longer laughs, and said seriously: "The soldiers and horses have not moved, and the grain and grass go first, which is not wrong in itself, but Brother Yanfu, such a major event as preparing grain and grass involves the household department, the military department, etc., which can easily arouse the suspicion of others, so Xuanba hopes that Brother Yanfu can suspend the grain and grass matter." ”

"Brother Fool was negligent." Jia Yanfu was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly got up and said: "Later, Yanfu will find a reason, and he will definitely not make others suspicious." ”

"With the words of Brother Yanfu, Xuanba will be relieved." Li Xuanba replied, looked at Fang Xuanling and Wei Zheng and said: "Brother Xuanling, during this period of time, you still need to work hard to run to Wu County twice, your purpose is very simple, that is, to make Shen Faxing feel that the imperial court is scaring him, and he has no idea of attacking him." ”

Fang Xuanling got up and responded, and Li Xuanba waved his hand. After Fang Xuanling knelt down and sat back, Li Xuanba said to Wei Zheng again: "Brother Xuancheng, Your Majesty is benevolent, and you will not want to see us pay a heavy price for training, in order to prevent him from detecting, you can go to Brother Wuji." I think there must be enough things in the dossier of the Ministry of Supervision that are worth your attention. ”

Li Xuanba ignores the affairs of the court, Yang Tong is too benevolent, there will inevitably be some moths among the officials of the Southern Sui, and the eldest grandson Wuji has many handles in his hands, if he hands over all those handles to Wei Zheng, at least one percent of the officials in the court will return to their hometowns.

Previously, due to the lack of people in the imperial court, as long as those officials did not act too much, Li Xuanba would turn a blind eye and close one eye. But now it's different, some of those students of Guozijian can take on heavy responsibilities, and the imperial court has enough confidence to deal with those officials who do evil!
